THE AWARD
The current award was designed by Hamish Meikle of the School of Fine Arts. It explores the notions of rough to smooth and blunt to sharp, while also expressing the sense of directional or guiding experiences – all of these symbolic of the activities of teaching and learning. There is a South Pacific aesthetic embodied in the award’s tapering form and in cross-section the award echoes the University’s coat of arms.
